Symptoms of Impotence
1. Mild Impotence
Sexual desire is basically normal. Erection can occur relatively quickly when stimulated by the opposite sex. Masturbation can cause an erection. During intercourse, the penis can erect but not for long, or it may require manual assistance to enter the vagina. The penis is erect but not firm. The frequency of sexual intercourse decreases. Sexual pleasure is still present.
2. Moderate Impotence
Sexual desire is weakened. Erection response of the penis to stimulation of sensitive areas is slow. Immediate erection cannot occur when stimulated by the opposite sex. Through masturbation, the penis can barely erect. During intercourse, the penis often cannot erect, or even if it does, it cannot stay erect for long. The penis cannot enter the vagina during intercourse. The erection angle is less than 90° and the hardness is very poor. The frequency of sexual intercourse noticeably decreases and sexual pleasure significantly diminishes.
3. Severe Impotence
Sexual desire disappears. Regardless of stimulation of sensitive areas, stimulation by the opposite sex, or masturbation, the penis does not have an erection response. The penis cannot erect or enter the vagina during intercourse. The penis lacks erection angle and hardness. Sexual activity is basically stopped and there is no pleasure from sexual intercourse.
Why Does Depression Cause Impotence?
In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Danxi mentioned in his book "Danxi Heart Method - Six Depressions" that "depression is the head of the six depressions". This means that when depression occurs, other forms of depression will also manifest. Depression can lead to stagnation of liver Qi, which affects the smooth flow of liver Qi and can easily affect male reproductive function, leading to impotence. In simple terms, impotence caused by depression is a male erectile dysfunction caused by excessive psychological pressure.
Massaging the Yongquan Acupoint to Relieve Depression-Induced Impotence
When it comes to the Yongquan acupoint, I believe everyone is familiar with it. The Yongquan acupoint is located in the depression on the front part of the foot, about one-third of the way between the second and third toes at the junction of the foot roots.
Every morning after waking up or before going to bed, soak your feet in hot water, then use the palm of your left hand to massage the Yongquan acupoint on your right foot 100 times, and then switch to your right hand to massage the Yongquan acupoint on your left foot 100 times. Massage once a day.
Function: Massaging the Yongquan acupoint can tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, strengthen tendons and bones, and enhance essence and marrow. It has a good effect on impotence caused by depression.
In addition to the above method, you can also massage the inguinal area symmetrically with the fingertips of both thumbs, index fingers, and middle fingers, from the outside to the inside in the direction of the root of the penis, with a gentle and comfortable touch, 50 times on each side.
Foods for Men with Kidney Deficiency
1. Seafood
Seafood can enhance sexual performance. Male semen contains a large amount of zinc. When there is insufficient zinc in the body, it can affect the quantity and quality of sperm. Oysters, shrimp, and crab are rich in zinc.
2. Garlic
The lead sulfide in garlic has antioxidative effects, making it regarded as a cancer-fighting food. Eating garlic can improve physical fitness and strengthen the body.
3. Foods high in vitamin C
After the age of 30, the quality and quantity of sperm in men decline. Vitamin C can rejuvenate aging sperm. Foods high in vitamin C include kiwi, oranges, broccoli, asparagus, etc. Vitamin C can assist in the secretion of adrenal cortex hormones and help counteract stress.
